Answer:

Mechanical energy = 429.984J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 7.2kg

Velocity = 2.4m/s

Height = 5.8m

To find the mechanical energy;

Mechanical energy = kinetic energy + potential energy

First of all, we would determine the values of K.E and G.P.E

K.E = ½mv²

K.E = ½*7.2*2.4²

K.E = 3.6*5.76

K.E = 20.736 J

P.E = mgh

We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²

P.E = 7.2*9.8*5.8

P.E = 409.248

Substituting the values into eqn 1, we have;

Mechanical energy = 20.736 + 409.248

Mechanical energy = 429.984J

What is the primary cause of diffusion?
Lostsunrise [7]
<span><u>Answer</u>
c). random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

<u>Explanation </u>
Diffusion is the movement of particles from a region of high concentration to region of low concentration. The rate of diffusion can be increased by increasing amount of temperature but this is not its primary cause. Diffusion is primarily caused by movement of molecules or atoms in a substances. Form the choices given, the correct answer is c. random internal motion of atoms and molecules.

valkas [14]

Answer:

6.46*10^-11m

Explanation:

We can use the equation of the center of the mass of two atoms

Xcm=\frac{mcxc+moxo}{mc+mo}

If we take the origin at the center of the molecule carbon monoxice, xc will be 0, so

Xcm=\frac{moxo}{mc+mo}=\frac{xo}{mc/mo+1}

Xcm=\frac{1.13.10^-3}{0.750mo/mo+1}=6.46*10^-11m

Hydrogen makes stars and stars spend most of their lifetime making helium.

The heavier elements are made when an old-age, high mass star explodes as a nova or supernova and then dies.

A negative charge is paced in an electric field that points west. What direction is the force on the negative particle?
Greeley [361]

Answer:

A positive charge placed in an electric field will tend to move in the direction of the electric field lines and a negative charge will tend to move opposite to the direction of the electric field lines.

One way to remember this is that there is one velocity, and so the thumb represents it. There are many field lines, and so the fingers represent them. The force is in the direction you would push with your palm. The force on a negative charge is in exactly the opposite direction to that on a positive charge.
